My farewell post – not exactly!

tl;dr: Changes to my schooling means I’ll be a lot less active, but I’ll still be around.

Samwow5Hey everyone, this is hard for me to say. There are no words to describe what I’m feeling, this year, school will be getting so much harder. I won’t have a lot of time to post, but I would have time on the weekends if life gives me a break. If you’re confused, I’m not leaving, but I am not going to be as active as I used to be.

I won’t be doing island guides as often as I used to (will do Survival Ep. 5 hopefully), I also won’t be at some of the parties, and I won’t be at a lot of stuff in the future. I have a chance to learn so much this year, and prepare myself for life in the future. To me, this blog has done so much for me. I’ve met so many people that have helped me in the blogging world. Here are some important people I want to thank:

I’d like to thank Slanted Fish (Fishy) for all that’s she’s done for me; she helped me when my blog started out. She linked me on the sidebar on the PHB; she used my guides when I started out, when she could have used way better guides than mine. I’d like thank to thank her for hiring me as an author on the PHB, when to tell the truth, I wasn’t that good of a writer (gotten better, but not the best ;p) she’s helped me and edited posts and showed me great writing techniques. I really appreciate all she has done. I’m proud to call her a friend <3.

I’d like to thank all my TIB staff for all the help starting my blog (Silver Wolf, SL, Spotted Dragon, Tough Raptor and a lot of others.) I will always love that blog and post as often as I can when I can.

I’d like to thank all the authors on the PHB that has helped me and has accepted me here, especially, Brave Tomato and Fuzzy-B. I’d also like to thank Obi, Pixel, and so many more on thephc for being friendly to me and teaching me the ropes as owner. Even though there was a lot of conflict on thephc at times, I forgive those who I may not have gotten along with and want to have a clean slate when I’m less active.

I’d like to thank all the viewers on the PHB & TIB that has liked me posts and enjoyed reading them. This was my goal to get on the PHB and it was more fun than I ever thought it could be. I will miss this place dearly and all the people that are here when I’m not going to be as active anymore.

samwowMost of all I’d like to thank HPuterpop for he dealing with all my shenanigans, he’s been there through the thick and thin for me. He’s been my best friend for months; I had so much fun with him, the livestreams, the guide writing, the facecams, and so much more. He’s irreplaceable, even though this isn’t IRL, I will miss him dearly. HP, if you see this, never quit because I leave, I want you to continue even though you’re lonely. I will try to come here on the weekends and maybe during the week if I have any free time. (OMG when I was writing this paragraph Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake’s song: Love never felt so good played on my local radio station xD)

There are not feelings to describe what I’m feeling right now. I love the PHB and don’t want to stop. But school is important; I’ve got to think of my future. My future hasn’t come yet, so I’m going to continue on the weekends. From this post I have 8-9 days to live out my summer (going on vacation next week for 2-3 days) I love you all! If any one of you want to email me personally, email me at: toughicicle(at)gmail(dot)com

I’ll leave you all with a few quotes:

  •  “We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.”  -Tim McGraw
  • “Everything is all right, When you’re here, When you’re right next to me, When my hand is in yours, Don’t leave me, Don’t leave me empty handed.” ― Elizabeth Brooks
  • “If I look back when I begin to leave, will they remember me?” ― Owl City
